[Urgent] VPN Site to Site Issues

Hello,

I am trying to setup a VPN site to site (Home - Office) with 2 Checkpoint Router-Firewall Safe@Office 500.
The VPN Site to Site is connected and I am able to Ping the other router from the router itself, both way.

But Unfortunately, I am not able to ping the router with my computer on the other side even if there is only my laptop attached to the router. Obviously, Computers on the other side are not able to ping computers or servers. But From the router itself I am able to do it. Pretty Strange. It may be a networking or route issue as I have 2 routers at the job and If I change the default gateway of my computer at the job, I am able to ping it from the other router at my house ... but still not from the computer at my house. Hope you follow me.

The goal to setup VPN site to site is to be able to receive Phone calls with my IP Phone at my house and the server at the job. I need the computer and my IP Phone at my house on the network to be able to communicate with the IP Phone server at the job.

I'm not familiar with this particular flavor of CheckPoint system -- but, can you manage and/or view the current rules? You say that the CheckPoint devices can ping, but nothing from the other sides can ping... is that programmed into the rules?

Also, you mention that 192.168.0.x is on both ends of the VPN -- shouldn't the local end be 192.168.1.x to match your home devices?
